STB Features

An SKSE plugin for Skyrim Special Edition and Anniversary Edition that bundles a set of small engine and gameplay patches. Every feature has its own switch in Data/SKSE/Plugins/STB_Features.ini — turn on what you want, turn off what you don't.

No ESP, no scripts, nothing written to your save.

Building

Requirements:

• Visual Studio with the C++ toolset (the preset targets Visual Studio 18 2026 / v145 — adjust CMakePresets.json for a different install)
• vcpkg, with VCPKG_ROOT set
• A local CommonLibSSE-NG checkout, with CommonLibSSEPath_NG pointing at it

cmake --preset default -B build -S . -DSTB_FEATURES_DEPLOY_DIR="<path to .../SKSE/Plugins>"
cmake --build build --config Release

With COPY_BUILD=ON (the default) the DLL and PDB are copied to STB_FEATURES_DEPLOY_DIR after a successful build.
